faced his sermon in the morning with
the following address to newspaper re-
porters: Il have asked the reporters of
correct some statements in this morn
ing's papers. 1 said yesterday, Can a
good man be real estate agentT
yes said l. but he must be careful in
selling some lots Can a good man go
into the stock exchangeg He can, but
he can't come out one.' trust that this
will be corrected, as l do not
wish to offend the real estate men of
these two cities, and besides it would
not be true
He then read as his text, "Who then
can be Saved?" ''You don't like holiness.
There's heap of us sitting around
Qere and if we don't get some holiness
pretty soon the devils going to get us.
There are times and epochS in every
mans life when the Lord gives him the
chance to say l will do this or l will not.
If you are bankin' to-day on gettin' to
heaven, you want to do Whist God re-
QuireS.
Look here, when you walked up in
church and said, Lord, | and all have
are thine did you mean it? You are
willing to go and do most everything
except hold family prayer. l don't be-
lieve Christ was righteous for any one
but himself. No man has ever been
saved by imputed salvation. There's
Yale college. A fellow goes there and
buns four years, and comes away and
can't read word of Greek; but the
professors say he has an education.
That's imputed education and, like inn
puted salvation, is no good. l am goin'
to say something to which you
preachers may take exception. You can't
mention a single place i'll the Bible
final judgment. A man is justified
here by faith and by Christ, and up
there by his works. Heaven is the cen
ter of gravity for those who die good,
and If you're rackfng around here,
BIG, OLD SINNER,
reckoning you're going to be saved by
the blood of Christ your going to get
left. Imputed righteousness has gone
to seed and come up in Second Advent
ism. l reckon He'll have to come
again, for His first coming was
failure as far as a good
many of you are concerned. The man
who's waiting for the second coming of
Christ is going to get left and there's
lot of you fellows that need a second
coming mighty bad. The churches all
over this country are either profoundly
asleep or have never been walked up.
Take the average church in st. Paul
and how many real live, working
Christians does it contain? How many
dead to everything concerned with the
church and its work? Take the choirs,
the most sensitive animals 1 know of.

sanctified, said, 'Sorter'."
SAM SMALL'S SERMON.
The afternoon sermon was preached
by Sam Small. His text was Acts xix,
20: 80 nightly grew the word of God
and prevailed"
Said he: 1.-The bishops have told me
of congregations sending delegations to
conference, asking that certain preach
erS be not returned to them, because
they were always dabbling in prohibi-
ton, speculation or politics, and really
doing their best to bankrupt the church,
Poor stinkin' crowd that wants
preacher to draw big crowd to make
money. That's the reason they have
operate singing, it makes the devils
crowd pay up. Some of these news
papers have accused me of glory
ing in the fact that l was
once a drunkard. That's lie.
/ glory because the Lord has cleansed
me and kept me from dying drunkard.
When the Lord drove the devils into the
drove of hogs | reckon He intended they
should stay there, judging from the
piece of ham | ate last night, and when
the devil can't get a man any other way
he gets him to eat ham. Down in st.
Joseph, Mo-, Sam Jones and myself were
sent threatening letters and we were
abused in every way by the beer-drink-
ing, base ball-playing, eard-playing
crowds, and that's the way it works
every time. The devil is always on the
watch, seeking whom he may devour.
How can man do anything for the
Lord who has engagements to play
poker three nights every week? How
can woman be good working Chris
tian who spends three nights every
week in the ball room? Then there are
lottery tickets. The devil never did
catch Christian with q thinner bait. |
do like to see the average man in the
audience when Brother Jones gets on
the money question. l like to see the
way his face hardenS, and then to see
him when the golden shores and rich
blessings of the Lord are mentioned
why he just meltS all up, his eyes and
nose get red and he's
ALL BROKE UP.
s'Thc average minister round here saws
to, or rather of Mr.. Jones and myself,
o, you can come round here and blow
up these German dances, progressive
euchre parties and base ball games, but
we've got to stay here and we can't do
it. i say
THIS IS FALSE.
"You might in this way get the hypo-
critics out of the church, but in good,
true members you would gain ten for
every one you would lose. Advertise
the fact in even Minneapolis tomorrow
that minister's salary had been low
cred for preaching the gospel and even
the saloonkeepers and gamblers would
make up the deficit. l like to see man
so full of the Holy Ghost that the peo-
pie will lie about him, SANDER him and
in this way make him conspicuous. l

cars and hearing one of Minnesota's
senators say: 'Satterlee's an old crank
